What are good ways to prevent moderate cystic acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can treat it: Usually acne with cysts requires isotretinoin. You can't prevent it from recurring, but you can take multiple courses of treatment (once or even twice a year) and expect a pretty good result. A little-known rx that may also help is spironolactone. Everything else will disappoint you.
